Anything else relevant?

The most "strange" thing I have in the project are the leaflet dependencies, the same thing has happened to me in 2 projects that have similar dependencies.

Do you have always-auth: true set in your .npmrc?

[jortiz-belike]

I don't have that file, as far as I know it is not generated when creating a new project in Angular.
I've had to use (.npmrc) it in another project, which doesn't have 'always-auth: true', but the credentials of the dependency I'm working with. (In that project the error is also presented)

[alan-agius4]

Can you use --verbose flag when running ng update and kindly provide the logs. Thanks.

[jortiz-belike]

Locating potential npmrc files:
Trying 'C:\Program Files\nodejs\etc\npmrc'...not found.
Trying 'C:\Users\juanj\.npmrc'...found.
Trying 'D:\code\.npmrc'...not found.
Trying 'D:\code\linkener-applications\.npmrc'...found.
Trying 'D:\code\linkener-applications\linkener-photovoltaic-calculator\.npmrc'...not found.
An unhandled exception occurred: Unable to authenticate, need: BASIC realm="Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager"
See "C:\Users\juanj\AppData\Local\Temp\ng-q7fNtP\angular-errors.log" for further details.

I do not understand why this file is looking for me in my project while updating.
I had another local project in version 11 (without dependencies), very basic that I have been able to update

[alan-agius4]

ng update will always try to locale npmrc files.

In this case for this application you have multiple npmrc files which are merged togather.

Likely the other application have not have been in the D:\code\linkener-applications directory.

Can you share the settings of all the located npmrc files (mask any sensitive info)

[jortiz-belike]

For testing I have created the file .npmrc always = true, and it has not worked either

[alan-agius4]

I suppose that the error doesn’t occur when you run `npm i‘ correct?

[jortiz-belike]

I do not work with npmrc on this project.
I used it in a another project to install the company's own library (the problem also occurs in that project).
This project where the error occurs is a small project with a map.

Yes, the error occurs during update.

I do not know what configuration file you need, I have not configured anything other than leaflet, charts and material for this project.

[alan-agius4]

@joseph-ortiz, By defining an npmrc in your user directory you are forcing all projects to use that npmrc file.

See: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/npmrc

What is strange is that npm i works but ng update doesn’t. This would need some work to determine what’s wrong since we don’t have a reproduction.

[jortiz-belike]

Thanks to your last answer I have managed to solve one of the problems, in the path to the project there was a backup of the .npmrc file

That solves the update of the smallest project that I have that has no npmrc dependencies.

Now I have a project that does have npmrc, that I have updated it from version 8 to 11 without problems and that now gives me a problem and I don't know why

I do not know what configuration I should use to update the angular, I think that changing the location of the file, and copying it again would work, but it is not the most optimal

[alan-agius4]

Can you try the following

registry=https://example.com/repository/npm-group/:_auth=XXXXX

By the way which package manager and version are you using?
